Thanks, Valda! My third cousin in New Zealand has done a very thorough job on the GREEN family , both before and after their migration from Dorset/Wiltshire to the Antipodes.

I agree that the commonness of the names doesn't making tracing easy. I was clutching at straws!

Emigration could be a possibility. John's aunt, Rhoda Green (nee Jenkins) went to New Zealand with her family in 1876 and a man with the same name as her husband is on the Passport Application register in April of that year. There is also a John Parsons who applied for a passport in March 1876, but how can one prove that it's 'my' John? Would people need a passport to go to a location within the Empire?

I suppose that to check a possible marriage for Elizabeth, I could obtain a marriage certificate to see whether the father's name tallied. It's so infuriating that the other nine children more or less fell into my lap!

Thank you, Nanny Jan, for your reply. Unfortunately, my girl was not called Elizabeth Jane, merely Elizabeth.

Dorset / PARSONS of Hinton Martell
« on: Sunday 17 August 08 22:54 BST (UK)  »
My PARSONS forebears came from Hinton Martell and although I have a fairly complete family tree, thanks to accurate Parish Registers, I cannot find two members of my grandfather's family after they appear on the 1871 census. They are JOHN (born 1851) and ELIZABETH (born 1855).
They do not seem to appear in any official document after that time. Can anyone help with any suggestions as to their possible fates?

Cari,

Some time ago, I did some research for a lady in Baltimore about the PICKERING family of Brampton. If I can find this material again, would it be of any interest to you? I went through the Parish registers for Brampton, Hayton and Farlam to extract any mentions of the surname. I live in Brampton, so might be able to supply any photographs that you want.
